Had these break down over the last 10 years and they're about that old too. 200-300GB drives.
I'd like to recover the data tho I heard it may cost 300 to 400 dollars for each.
The drives make the sound when they're first plugged in as if they're starting but never get to stabilize and just keep...

It's my second SSD from Reeinno. Frist (NVMe) worked well for 1 month. Then it started to suspend POST. Instant death. The second one was Reeinno 128GB SSD SATA3. When I oppened it, I just felt cheated by them. DO NOT BUY REEINNO............. or just be aware of it.

I'm planning on changing around my raid 1 on my Synology system as I'm running low on space and I'm looking to buy bigger drives.
Currently I have 6 4Tb drives, they are setup in pairs for a raid 1 giving me 12Tb of usable space (ish).
I'm looking to buy 12Tb drives for extra storage but I...

hello
recently I have installed a Scan disk 512Gb M.2 drive.
After opening HWinfo, I noticed M.2 reads and writes 6GBPS same speed as my SSD drive. I thought M.2 are faster, or are my setting not optimized

I know how to clone the data over to the other SSD but what I'm wanting to know is when I go back to AHCI setting in my BIOS and destroy the Raid0 setup what do I need to do in windows first in order for windows to realise it's now on a single SSD in AHCI mode
RAID0 Array 2x120GB SSD's >>>...

Ok so I am using hard disk sentinal to monitor my drives and according to it both my drives have over a 1000 days of life.
And my main drive is at 100 percent health any second drive is at 97 percent with two re allocated sectors which I don't know what that means so if someone could explain...

My HTPC/NAS has been acting up a bit lately. The main issue is "simple": from time to time, Windows Explorer fails to show the drives installed, just keeps showing an empty "This PC" page with the green progress bar sloooooowly creeping forward yet never actually finishing. When this happens...

Hi
I've just bought a Samsung Evo 970 to use in system in my specs. Is it as simple as plug it into motherboard, go into bios, change boot order and install just like on a conventional SSD or HDD?
Thanks

Would I see any tangible benefit upgrading my old crucial M4 SSD to an m.2 drive when I build a new PC and carry across storage.
I've heard in real world usage it's unnoticeable but obviously benchmarks tell a different story...
Thoughts?

It may be quite difficult to find bargains when it comes to DDR4 system memory or high-end graphics cards these days, but at least SSDs are more affordable now to help bandage that wound. This price drop of solid state storage has been happening throughout this year, and some units have reached...

I have a MSI Z97 Gaming 5 Motherboard, which has a m.2 slot(already populated with a 120GB Kingston Drive). So, I want...
